I am working on a Windows 2000 Active Directory and am trying to achieve the following:
1. Users are not allowed to logon to more than 1 PC
2. The PCs must autoshutdown after some idle time, even during logoff
3. Keep track of each user's login duration
4. All logon accounts should be disabled on default, but activated by some other device (e.g. fingerprint reader)
Any ideas or suggestions on 1/more of the above will be much appreciated.

#1. I don't know of a way to restrict users to one simulataneous connection (which can be done in Novell). You can restrict users to using a particular PC which consequently can result in only login...but restricts the user to only using 1 computer. This setting is in the User Account Properties.
#2. Having the PCs autoshutdown when idle. You may be able to set up "Power Options" through Control Panel to obtain the desired results.
#3 There are 2 types of settings that Audit logons: (a) Domain Account Logons (create a GPO link it to the Domain Controllers OU - Audit "Account Logon")and (b) Local Computer Account Logons (link GPO to the Domain or to an custom OU that you've created that contain Computer objects - Audit "Logon Events").
#4 Accounts activated via "some other device." Create a GPO/Security Policy for "Interactive Logons.
Hope this helps.
